They were an action sports retailer with two locations in NYC. And sneaker sales accounted for 20% of their business, so a vidcast highlighting new shoe releases each month made sense. Many retailers and manufacturers who operate in the sneaker market produce similar videos to keep their fans informed.

So I decided to do a mashup of two tv shows that I like.

Actually building the objects is the easiest part of 3D, its the lighting and camera rigging that I found to be a real challenge.

I found this was a perfect oppurtunity to put into practice the JavaScript coding that I recently learned. I decided to use MooTools framework because it is a more advanced version of JavaScript, all I had to do was design it. I examined portfolio sites that utilize JavaScript successfully and combined parts from each to craft a user experience that reflects the nature of packaging. The site displays the portfolio section over the homepage in a shadowbox. Each portfolio piece is then opened in another shadowbox, letting you see the current content over the entire site. This gives the site a layering effect that lets you see through to the homepage, not unlike looking through a semi-transparent material containing a product.

Here is a link to the full site.
